First of all supporting a political party where the choices are between two is quite different. Supporting rescues, shelters, and organizations that protect the inhumane treatment of animals is quite different. This group has radical agendas that are well known. It not realistic to compare the ASPCA and PETA. Seriously...is that what you asking. You are quite correct that everything is not black and white however in a group who is known for extreme views on pet ownership the issue is very black and white. They make that very clear. There are so many wonderful groups out there that support all animals. Groups that provide guide dogs for the blind and service dogs for the disabled and therapy dogs for sick children, a plethora of excellent groups that provide NO KILL shelters for dogs and cats. I just find a contradiction in supporting Peta and owning a purebred and supporting breeders. AGAIN this is my opinion!!!!!!!! I personally could NEVER hunt and kill an animal but I respect the fact that people like to hunt. I believe that animals should be treated humanely when they are raised for the food industry. I completely support the right of someone to protest any issue. But only in the legal since and when and where appropriate. They should support OUR right to raise and breed when done ethically and humanely. But that is the difference.....that is my point. PETA wants to tell me what I can and cannot do with an animal. So I can support their rights but they don't support mine. I don't know how else to put it.
By the way....if you were to ask. PETA would tell you their issues are very BLACK AND WHITE..... |
